Problems solved by technology

Currently used laser sources with a power of 3 W or more, in the event of a loss of function (e.g. if the light-emitting element is not optimally encountered) can cause damage due to the high intensity of the eye-damaging laser beam, especially to other eyes traffic participant

Embodiment Construction

[0023] In the following figures, for the sake of clarity, identical components are assigned the same reference symbols. The terms used below such as "upper", "lower", "front" and "rear" relate to the state of assembly in a motor vehicle, if the light guide element 1 is also used in a motor vehicle headlight 2, which is front-mounted inside the car.

[0024] exist figure 1 A first variant of the light guiding element 1 according to the invention is shown in . The light guide element 1 is used, for example, in laser car headlights 2 (see image 3 ), and between the laser source 3 and the light-emitting element 4, the light-emitting element is excited for emitting visible light, especially white light, by the light incident from the laser source 3 . exist figure 1 Two different positions of the laser source 3 are shown in , as will be explained in more detail below.

[0025] The light guiding element 1 is preferably made of a transparent material, such as glass or plastic. ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a light guiding element (1) for a laser vehicle headlight (2), wherein the laser vehicle headlight (2) comprises at least one laser light source (3) and at least one luminous element (4) which can be irradiated by the laser light source (3) and can thus be excited to emit visible light. The light guiding element (1) has a first side (10), which is designed at least partly as a light entrance surface (5), and a second side (20) arranged opposite the first side (10), said second side being designed at least partly as a light exit surface (6) and being assigned at least one receptacle (7) for at least one luminous element (4), wherein the light entrance surface (5) is assigned at least one first reflection region (50) which is oriented in the direction of the interior of the light guiding element (1) and reflects light from the light entrance surface (5) in the direction of the receptacle (7) for the luminous element (4), and wherein the light exit surface (6) is assigned at least one second reflection region (60) which is oriented in the direction of the interior of the light guiding element (1) and reflects light from the luminous element (4) in the direction of the light exit surface (6). The invention furthermore relates to a vehicle headlight (2) comprising at least one light guiding element of this type.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light guide element for a laser vehicle headlight, wherein the laser vehicle headlight comprises at least one laser source and at least one luminous element which is irradiated by the laser source and thus excitable for emitting visible light. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle headlight having at least one laser light source and at least one luminous element irradiated by the laser light source and thus excitable for emitting visible light, with at least one such light guide element. Background technique [0002] Different types of motor vehicle headlights are known in the prior art, wherein in recent years mainly headlights with discharge lamps and halogen light sources have been used. For reasons of energy saving and in order to further reduce the space requirement of motor vehicle headlights, attempts are increasingly being made to use laser sources such as semiconductor lasers, since they are advantageous in t...
